If you can't join us live on Saturday (in person or on the Livestream), we invite you to check our YouTube channel for a recording of the service from Saturday (2/26/22) and watch when it is convenient.
We will be back on Zoom next Sunday, March 6th.

Ash Wednesday and Midweek Lenten Services 2022
Pastor Henry Martinez (of Shepherd of the Valley) and Pastor David are working together to offer combined midweek worship opportunities for Shepherd of the Valley and Community of ChristChurch.
Beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 2nd, our two congregations will have the opportunity to worship together every Wednesday evening in the season of Lent at 6:30pm, in person at Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, and online via YouTube Streaming.
Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church
17625 NW Cornell Rd, Beaverton, OR 97006
These will be quiet, contemplative worship services designed to assist us all in our Lenten walk with Jesus toward the cross.
We will continue to follow the COVID protocols created for us by our Worship Transition Team, with one exception: Because we will be bringing two faith communities together for these midweek services, we will also be asking participants to show proof of vaccination to attend worship in person.
We want to remind you that you can also attend via YouTube live streaming at this link. |

There will be no RIC Sunday in March and April due to Lent and Easter. But there are still ways to get involved.
